The Curry Shop & Grill

So I had a bad night at training on Thursday, skating head-​first into someone and hurting my neck. I was fine though, just a bit annoyed at myself for being a total dunce. So on the way home from training I decided to stop off and treat myself to some pakora, and this was kind of on my way. I drove past it at first, thinking it was in the main shops in Giffnock but it’s up near where Leo’s Bar & Grill is. It was around 9.30pm so it was really quiet, just the one guy in the shop. I’ll be honest — he wasn’t very friendly but he wasn’t exactly rude either. I went for a «small» chicken pakora consisting on 8 pieces and sauce for £4.10. They weren’t cooked to order, I couldn’t quite see but I think they were reheated while I waited.
When I got home (maybe 10 minutes later) they were still pretty warm and I dived right in. I was impressed — they were still crispy, had a good batter and the sauce was tasty. The portions were generous and some pieces were really big. All up, pretty damn good pakora and a reasonable price. I also got a thing of spicy onions for £1 and Graeme liked them a lot, and I rate him as the spicy onion guru.

Seriously seriously great veg pakora. The outside is so crispy yet the inside so warm, soft and tasty! A great price too.
The curry itself wasn’t anything special but this is now my pakora-​go-​to place for life. If you enjoy veg pakora you owe it to yourself to visit here.
Be warned however, this place is takeaway only! But there’s ample free parking around. Why not treat yourself after a trip to Wholefoods?
